We all know what we eat can affect our health. The majority of people don't get enough fiber, but it's so important. It can help promote heart health, as well as your digestive health.

One easy way to introduce more fiber into your family's diet is to get more whole grains. Whenever you bake, you can use whole grain flours or meals. Add a little, or a lot - whole grains will add flavor, texture, and better nutrition no matter what!

Remember that if you're gluten free, you can still boost your whole grains, and it's just as important! Brown rice is whole grain; and some other good options that are usually available include Oats and Oat Flour, Quinoa Flour, Corn Meal, and Buckwheat Flour.

For this recipe, we chose to showcase how the Hodgson Mill Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Baking Mix can come in handy! Made with a combination of millet, sorghum and brown rice flours, it helps add whole grains to your baked goods while still keeping them gluten-free!

The baking mix makes a perfect base for these Dark Chocolate Red Wine Cakes, which make the perfect indulgent treat for a special holiday or occasion.

Be sure to stay tuned over the next two weeks to see what whole grain baked goods our Healthy Aperture Blogger Network bloggers are whipping up this month with whole grain products from Hodgson Mill! You'll see recipes from:
